Small but very complete Museum run by an enthusiast who you can ask multiple questions and who knows his subject. A lot of very authentic details.. .to advise for visitors who wish to immerse themselves in the history and who want clarification on the massacre

One of the most beautiful museum dedicated to D-day! The general public could be frustrated by the small size of this Museum, but the exhibits are absolutely exceptional historical and emotional load transmitted, with many objects or uniforms who experienced the horror Omaha then the furious fighting of the battle of Normandy, often personal, making witnesses extraordinary and very rare. Visit recommended for demanding public who wishes to leave the beaten by noria of tourist cars.

A small museum with a very comprehensive collection and a passionate owner. If you do not know the big red one feel free to ask your questions, it is inexhaustible, and especially his knowledge is more than comprehensive on the subject. A price may seem high but which we thought was quite justified in terms of time and investment of the owner to make 1 great museum open summer and winter.
